Stayed for a work trip when Waterpark was closed. Room was great but could see it being loud if roving bands of children were running around.

Meh!!

Both bathroom and bed linens were dirty. In an attempt to call the front desk, we discovered that the phone in the room didn’t work. Elevator smelled of marijuana. Enjoyed the staff at Tony Roma’s.

Family weekend get away

Hotel overall was good. Hotel was clean. Breakfast was surprisingly really good!!! Arcade and water park was average. Definitely well used and could use some up grades. The one downfall was the smell and amount of chlorine used in the water park. It hit you once you walked into the park. We could only be in there maybe 2 hrs and the kids started to cough so bad almost vomiting and our eyes burned for a couple hrs after getting out.

Fun time

We had a family gathering for the weekend and very much enjoyed the Water Park and overall hotel experience. Our room was comfortable and clean. The water park is a nice size for younger children. Lots of fun was had by all. We would book again.

Everything is the same from when I was a kid. Both hot tubs were filled with kids the whole time when one is supposed to be adults only. Waterpark is rusted and out dated. Not enough tables and chairs in the Waterpark we had to sit on the ground and make our own pile of stuff. Breakfast is packed again not enough tables and chairs, there was lines just to get on the elevator then lines to get to the breakfast. We ended up going somewhere else to eat.

I felt like the waterpark could use a much needed update. There is only one way to get into the waterpark and you have to go through the lobby while people are checking in and the doors kept opening because of the traffic. I wouldn’t thane minded if it was summer but we did stay while there was a freeze warning with negative degree weather. I felt like if there was possibly a remodel they could figure out way to avoid walking through the lobby and fix some cosmetic things the waterpark needed.
